The National Gallery of Athens has highlighted Nikos Lytras’s painting ‘The Lighthouse’, dating from approximately 1925–1927, in an English-language social-media post published on August 17, 2026. The post presents the work as part of the E. Koutlidis Foundation Collection.
Lytras (1883–1927) is identified in the post as the artist behind the work. The painting is listed as an oil on canvas measuring 52 by 42 centimetres. No further information about its current display, exhibition history or location is provided.
The image and accompanying text were shared alongside the Greek hashtag for World Lighthouse Day. The post’s bilingual caption gives the title, approximate date, artist’s name and dates, medium, dimensions and collection attribution in Greek and English.
The National Gallery of Athens is the organization identified with the communication, but the source does not state that ‘The Lighthouse’ is currently exhibited at the gallery. It also does not announce an exhibition, loan, acquisition, public programme or other institutional event connected with the painting.
The available source material is limited to this commemorative artwork feature. It establishes the work’s attribution to Nikos Lytras and its holding by the E. Koutlidis Foundation Collection, while leaving its precise display status and broader presentation context unspecified.
